Marc has been amazing. We are so grateful to him for watching our Neico last minute and doing so well. He was very kind and communicated regularly about how Neico is doing, we even got photos regularly. We will definitely reach out to Marc again to care for Neico. Thanks Marc.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety First Because I am home full-time, your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. In public, I keep all dogs leashed at all times to ensure their security and the comfort of those around us. To minimize environmental risks and unpredictable interactions, I generally keep dog parks off-limits. ​Daily Essentials I always come prepared with fresh water, waste bags, and treats for every outing. During the warmer months, I am especially mindful of paw safety; I avoid hot pavement and stick to shaded, grassy areas to prevent burns. ​Vigilance & Care I maintain constant supervision during walks to ensure pets don't ingest anything harmful from the ground. I also practice "active walking," staying alert to avoid any stressful encounters with off-leash dogs, local wildlife, or stray cats. ​Home Environment My home is a secure, pet-friendly space. We have a fenced-in balcony where dogs can safely play and sunbathe in a controlled environment, free from interaction with other animals.

A typical day

Since I’m home full-time, your pet becomes part of my daily routine! Here is what a typical day looks like: ​Morning Adventures: We start with a long, refreshing walk through the beautiful trails of Balboa Park to get some fresh air and exercise. ​Mid-Day Fun: Back at home, your pet can enjoy supervised playtime or some relaxing sunbathing in our secure, fenced courtyard. ​Constant Company: Because I am home most of the time, I’m available for plenty of belly rubs, treat breaks, and companionship throughout the day. ​Safe Outings: If we head out for an afternoon stroll, I stick to shady, grassy paths to keep their paws cool and stay clear of any busy areas for a stress-free experience. ​Evening Wind-Down: We end the day with a final walk and lots of relaxation in a calm, quiet home environment.

I am seeking small to medium-sized dogs that exhibit friendly behavior towards other dogs. Living Situation As I reside in an apartment, I prefer dogs that do not experience separation anxiety, ensuring a comfortable living environment for both the dog and myself. Accessibility For those considering senior dogs, please be aware that my apartment is accessible via an elevator, making it easy for all dogs to reach my home without difficulty. Grooming Preferences I would greatly appreciate it if long-haired dogs arrive clean and well-groomed, as this contributes to a pleasant atmosphere in my living space. Services Offered I offer dog bathing services; if you are interested in this service for your dog, please feel free to let me know. Thank you very much!
